Eczema - tried everything!

Hi ladies, my lg has had eczema since she was 2 months old. She has it all over her body (creases usually worse) apart from her face which is usually clear. Recently she got a rash all up her neck and round her ears with loads of little spots that went all over her head. The nurse said it was her eczema and provided hydrocortisone for it.

I have tried absolutely everything on her skin, all different creams, ointments, oils....the only thing that can clear her eczema is daktacort which I can’t use for long. I have stopped using fabric conditioner and just use fairy non bio liquid. She doesn’t have anything but water in her bath.

Is anyone else suffering really bad with this? When will it end?! She’s constantly scratching at her skin, it’s awful to watch. Thinking that when she gets to 1 I might pay to go private and tested for allergies etc. I just want her to stop suffering

I second the eumovate steriod cream my lo had bad ecezema had to do frequent doctor runs before someone suggested eumovate and i asked for it. It is really good within a couple of days her skin was all better. I only use it now for occaisonal flare ups.

I second the eumovate steriod cream my lo had bad ecezema had to do frequent doctor runs before someone suggested eumovate and i asked for it. It is really good within a couple of days her skin was all better. I only use it now for occaisonal flare ups.

I use the daktacort to clear, but have to use it once every other day, or once every 3 days. I will ask for the eumovate to try. Thank you x
